Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Event App at none against Flickr's 2. The Event App also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). Flickr's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
